1. 1. A person insured under a contract for hospital, medical or dental services may assign his or her right to benefits to the provider of health care who provided the services covered by the contract. The nonprofit hospital, medical or dental service corporation shall pay all the benefits or the part of the benefits assigned by the insured to the person designated by the insured. A payment made pursuant to this subsection discharges the obligation of the corporation to pay those benefits.
2. 2. If the insured makes an assignment under this section, but the corporation after receiving a copy of the assignment pays the benefits to the insured, the corporation shall also pay those benefits to the provider of health care who received the assignment as soon as the corporation receives notice of the incorrect payment.
3. 3. For the purpose of this section, “provider of health care” has the meaning ascribed to it in NRS 629.031.
